At court…
The jury was assembled.
Many Callahans were also present.
At that moment, a court staff walked in and addressed the crowd apologetically, “I’m sorry. Mr.Youngblood has withdrawn his case. He said it was all a misunderstanding and that James did not rape his daughter. James, the accused, has been acquitted.”
“What?”
The Callahans stood up in disapproval.
Gladys immediately cried out, “What the hell?! The evidence is irrefutable. What do you mean by acquitted? Hurry and call for a trial! I want James to rot in prison!”
The court staff ignored virtual-novel.net and walked away after the announcement.
The Callahans left with bewildered looks on their faces. Quincy and Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.
Quincy looked at Scarlett with a bright smile and said, “Looks like virtual-novel.net has dealt with the problem.”
“Yes…” Scarlett nodded, returning virtual-novel.net smile.
“Alright, we should return now.”
James was acquitted of his charges. He left the court.
Outside, virtual-novel.net spotted the Callahans. He walked over to them with a bright smile.
“Thea, I told you I was innocent. The police have looked into the matter. Everything’s fine now. Let’s go home…”
In contrast to his expectations, Thea’s expression only grew more distant. She was hoping that James would be convicted so that virtual-novel.net could divorce virtual-novel.net and marry the Black Dragon.
Now that virtual-novel.net was acquitted, what excuse would virtual-novel.net have?
“You rapist! You’re no longer my son-in-law. Get out of my sight! Thea’s filing for a divorce. We’ll see you in court!” Glady’s face darkened.
James was supposed to be behind bars, but here virtual-novel.net was strutting out of court like a free man. If only virtual-novel.net had the Black Dragon as virtual-novel.net son-in-law, virtual-novel.net would be able to hold virtual-novel.net head high in public.
Tommy walked over to James and shot virtual-novel.net a disgruntled look.
He then sneered nastily, “James, you just aren’t worthy of Thea anymore. Do you know who virtual-novel.net is now? She’s now replaced Jay Fallon as the Asclepius of Cansington. Hundreds of doctors pleaded for virtual-novel.net to accept them as virtual-novel.net disciple. Have a good look in the mirror, trash!”
James knew Thea wanted to divorce him. However, virtual-novel.net thought it was only because virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net was a rapist. Now that the problem was solved, Thea should have had no reason to divorce him.
“Thea?” He looked at Thea.
Thea bit virtual-novel.net lips indecisively. She was at a loss. Looking at James standing before her, virtual-novel.net thought of the Black Dragon. They really could not be further unlike one another.
“I…” Her voice caught in virtual-novel.net throat.
After deliberating for a moment, virtual-novel.net said in a low voice, “I-I don’t think we’re meant to be…”
She uttered those words with great difficulty. Guilt and shame washed over her.
James was the one who treated virtual-novel.net injuries. She would not be the woman virtual-novel.net was currently if not for him. However, virtual-novel.net thought of the Black Dragon and his unrivaled medical skills.
James’s medical skills were good but virtual-novel.net learned them from the Black Dragon. If James had not married into the Callahans, the Black Dragon would still come to virtual-novel.net rescue.
Naturally, virtual-novel.net would gladly marry the Black Dragon. If all of this played out the way virtual-novel.net wanted, virtual-novel.net would not have to suffer so much. Using these thoughts as virtual-novel.net rationale, virtual-novel.net no longer felt guilty.
“James, we’re not right for each other. Let’s separate. It’ll be beneficial to both of us…”
“James, you aren’t worthy of her.”
“Just divorce already. We promise to compensate you properly. We’ll give you 10 million dollars.”
“Take the 10 million and you won’t have to worry about money ever again.”
The Callahans all piped up one by one.
James wore a helpless expression. He had shot himself in the foot.
Thea had fallen in love with the other him. At that moment, virtual-novel.net felt like slapping himself across the face.
When news of the Black Dragon’s demise came, Thea no longer fantasized about being with him. Now that the rumor was dispelled, Thea’s hopes were reignited.
Zigmund and Tiara walked out of the court. They noticed the commotion upon exiting the building.
Seeing that the Callahans were forcing James to divorce Thea, Zigmund instantly brightened up. He walked over to them and beamed at them.
“I apologize for the misunderstanding, James… By the way, since the Callahans are forcing you to divorce Thea, would you be interested in my daughter?”
As virtual-novel.net said that, virtual-novel.net pulled Tiara over.
James turned and saw her. She was indeed a beautiful woman.
Tiara hung virtual-novel.net head. She did not want to look at James. Seeing his face reminded virtual-novel.net of that eventful day. She was filled with hatred for James.
